EarthCraft promotes comprehensive air sealing to drive energy efficiency. Air sealing of the building envelope and its mechanical ductwork/equipment, with allowances for fresh air, provide a tight building envelope with small additional costs. There is less penetration of air or sound between the great outdoors or between units in multifamily structures. The result is a Triple Crown: more energy efficiency, lower total costs to occupy, and higher value construction to make it more durable in the long run.
Using resource efficient materials such as concrete with fly ash, recycled materials such as cellulose in insulation or in fibers for carpets or pads lower wastes normally headed for landfills. Better window and insulation levels exceeding code, measures for water conservation, and the installation of ENERGY STAR fixtures or appliances, utility bills will remain low for the life of the house after moving day.
EarthCraft Virginia is established, with its 500th certified home in the state of Virginia as of March 5, 2010!
